It’s funny how I have no ties whatsoever to the rabbit team but instinctually am annoyed at the dunking because they’re obviously scrappy AF hackers that cut a just-barely-or-maybe-not MVP and I love someone doing that with hardware
I know *way* too much about this right now, but you might notice about 200ms of unnecessary latency on the R1's PTT button given that the volume up key on Android goes through a much thicker goo of conditional logic than other keyboard events. Poor choice.
this is literally the opposite of a surprise, it would be surprising if it wasn't just android with an APK, because that would have been overengineering

Everyone is freaking out about bad reviews on tech. Real talk, if you can’t take negative feedback stop being a founder and get a day job. Hide behind lawyers and drink organic coconut water in a FAANG company. Worse than people hating your product, is people giving no fucks.
you can ship products many people think aren't MVP but actually are because "viable" means "won't end in death" not "gets good reviews"

Ok now I’m wondering Maybe they bolted a new, non-LLM reasoning model onto a GPT-2 trained entirely for the purpose of domain knowledge compression Would explain the name, the domain depth (the main consistent observation) and the overall quality

The optimal strategy for a hardware startup is to sell your long term vision to consumers while shipping an MVP as fast as humanly possible

gpt2-chatbot nailed this on first try. no bugs
I want this new gpt2-chatbot to be from John Carmack's Keen Technologies AGI lab that used reinforcement learning to self-improve GPT-2 until it was better than GPT-4.

I did have one instance in my initial tests where it did very closely mirror a subset of the response with Opus. So possible it could be an anthropic model as well, but I'd be surprised.

If you're gonna use your 8 prompts with gpt2-chatbot to gauge if it's GPT-4.5 (or whatever), wasting them on tokenization trick questions seems silly Reasoning, domain depth, synthesis of knowledge, planning, world model, theory of mind, anything else would be more useful

Now it’s happening again. A “journalist” named Gil Duran just committed a act of ethics…

@gfodor Building > Not Building I also love the idea of an irl Pokédex. I think it has a lot of potential as a niche object classifier. EX: you train a bunch for use with a predefined set of objects in a store and potentially make barcode maintenance stuff way easier
@gfodor well I hope it works out for you and them... honestly, when I saw it I thought: "ok Zune" but I can be overly cynical again, I respect anybody who actually does something in this world (very few) - I just didn't see it on this one and am finding self-validation in its failure
@gfodor my favorite artist at work years ago had a sign taped to the door that said "it's not finished yet"
@gfodor Honestly, it's the software experience that's the core offering for this kind of device and anyone thinking of doing the same thing should build a community of early adopters with just that
@gfodor Seems like Rabbit and Human didn't have a strong enough MVP to justify not labeling these as dev kits. Now they've soured users similar to how bad Kickstarters made many people like me cynical
@gfodor I think the issue is it's too polished for an MVP so people treat it like a full release
@gfodor Yep. Also a huge speed to market advantage; way easier to hire Android developers than people with QNX experience, and on the hardware side a lot easier to spec an off-the-shelf SOC currently in a dozen cheap Android tablets.
@gfodor yeah, it's a big difference from the humane pin, like, the vibes.
@gfodor There are other embedded operating systems out there like QNX, although it probably depends on just how thin a client you’re building. Android's hardly a bad option (I’ve worked on an embedded AOSP product myself) but it’s all trade offs.
Having to make the cube every single time I open Blender is such a nightmare. I hope one day they will add the ability to just add a cube instead of having to make one from scratch.

I seriously think that nanny robots will fix the birthrate problem. it's the only thing i can think of
get your r1 update to the latest version now - we addressed most of the issues we found so far and more fix/improvements incoming! idle battery life up to 5x better now.
here’s our first software update for r1. we’re always open to your feedback about what to improve and which new features you find useful. let us know in the comments below. going forward, we’ll constantly push two types of software updates: OTA & cloud updates.
Agree 100%. Cloud is great when starting out, but you MUST HAVE AN OFF-RAMP!! This is what makes me so excited about Kamal. Start on somthing like Digital Ocean/Hetzner, validate that the business is sound and needs to use whole computers, then buy your own and deploy the same.
The Serverless cliff. Proprietary platforms are ok, but make sure you have a migration path, even if it's not perfect. You can hedge your bets by using platforms backed by open standards, think email and SMTP. Enjoy the initial benefits but don't get trapped by them.
